    I found recommended humidities ranging from "as low as possible" to 80% when I was doing research for my tarantula. I've also seen countless caresheets recommend feeding crickets to snakes (I'm not aware of a single snake common in the pet trade that even CAN eat crickets). That's one reason I love this forum so much, they have easily accessible caresheets for most of the common frogs that are actually detailed and easy to find.
    3.0 Thamnophis sirtalis sirtalis
    1.1 Thamnophis cyrtopsis ocellatus
    0.1 Ceratophrys cranwelli
    1.0 Litoria caerulea
    0.1 Terrapene carolina
    0.1 Python regius
    0.1 Grammostola rosea
    0.0.1 Brachypelma smithi
    0.1 Hogna carolinensis
